## INTRODUCTION Attachment A - 4 contains guiding questions, or directional indicators (DI), used to reduce burden on L EAs. Itis organized as follows :
 Overview of directional indicators  List of directional indicators Directional indicators are used to determine whether a data group is applicable to an LEA. For example, an L EA will be presented with a simple question asking whether or not students are enrolled in Advanced Placement (AP) courses at the school . If the LEA answers “no , ” then the subsequent tables collecting student counts of AP enrollment, exam - taking, and AP exam passing are not presented to the L EA. 

## OVERVIEW OF DIRECTIO **NAL INDICATOR**  **S** Because the CRDC is a mandatory collection, LEAs are obligated to respond to each applicable survey question. D irectional indicators successfully reduce the burden by

eliminating tables that are not applicable, therefore reducing the amount of time LEAs spend entering zeros into non applicable tables. Directional indicators were first implemented with the 2009

– 10 CRDC, and continued with the 2011

– 12 CRDC and 2013

– 14 CRDC. As OCR continue s to improve the design of the web - based survey tool, OCR will continue to include directional indicator s in the CRDC to determine whether the LEA will be presented with subsequent data group tables. Many of the directional indicator s are linked to existing data gro ups. For example, in DG932 , OCR collects each grade offered at a school. D ata are used to determine which applicable grade level retention tables are presented to the LEA (e.g . , a school offering grades 10, 11, and 12 would be present ed only with the retention tables for grades 10, 11, and 12) . However, there are some data groups which apply onl y to a subset of schools and this subset of schools cannot be determined from alread y collected information. For example, in the 2009

– 10 CRDC sample, approxim ately 55 % of high schools offer ed Advanced P lacement courses. In order to limit the burden of responding to data elements collecting detailed Advanced Placement data, OCR designed a directional indicator to determine which high schools (offering any grade 9 - 12) also offered Advanced Placement courses. These directional indicators minimize the burden of responding to the CRDC for LEAs and schools. The following list of directional indicators may be expanded as OCR designs the 201 5

– 1 6 survey tool. All dir ectional indicators are designed to minimize the burden of the CRDC collection to the extent possible on participating school districts.Attachment A - 4 CRDC Data Set for School Year 2015
